Disclaimer: This is not a recommendation to use illegal substances and drive.

Although, at least a couple studies suggest maybe you should. Other studies suggest it's certainly no more dangerous than driving sober.

Can someone please remind me, again, why the stuff is illegal? Other than some asshole wanted to cut down trees for newspapers, and some other assholes need jobs arresting the most peaceful, non-threatening folks anywhere?

Real-world data from auto accidents indicate that a drunk driver is approximately 10 times more likely to cause a fatal accident than a stoned driver. In most studies, smoking one-third of a joint or less has virtually no impact on a driver’s performance. A couple of studies even suggest that pot smokers are less likely to cause an accident than sober drivers.

No one’s entirely sure how to explain these results. The dominant hypothesis is that people are more likely to be aware of—and, more importantly, compensate for—their intoxication when high than when drunk. Participants in one study who smoked one-third of a joint perceived themselves as being impaired, even though the experiment suggested they were not. By contrast, subjects who had two drinks thought they were fine, despite performing poorly in driving tests. In the driving simulators, pot smokers drove significantly slower than the drunk drivers, even with researchers reminding them to speed up. They also gave the car in front of them a lot more room and were less likely to pass. Alcohol, on the other hand, increases risk-taking behavior. Drunk drivers drive faster, tailgate, and pass recklessly.

sure as hell works for me, can't go to work without!! and it makes me hate the other drivers on the road that much less :-)

i would recommend looking within and finding out why you seemingly cannot function at work without "it",.. and i would venture to claim that you feel the same/similar about other places as well,.. do some soul searching/cleansing/meditating,..

it's blatantly obvious that you have issues that "it" will not help you resolve by you identifying your hate for other people traveling just as you are. get off "it" and rediscover your connection with the grounded current of energy flowing through your self and others.

remember the time when you weren't with "it",.. and how you were able to feel and experience and function the same,.. if not better?

time to reconnect with that inner voice/self.

Until you get pulled over and they search you and the car..

Heroin addicts are the best drivers of all, they do 50,000 miles a year to feed their habit, they are strung out half the time and stoned the other half, yet they never crash.

yeah because I'm stupid enough to carry it with me? or smoke it in the car? I'm not your typical retard stoner, I have an IQ of 140 and I was considered a gifted child, and i'm sure as hell not going to get caught!!!

eh.. I drive better when I'm drunk.
Feel like i'm gonna run into shit when i'm stoned.
*shrugs*
